There is a similar one in front of Matthew Flinders Statue, Macquarie 
St, Sydney. Its cleanliness varies .. there is a more modern one across 
the road and further south if it is too bad.

'taps' also come with other things for example showers. It you map a

Renders may map the 'tap' instead of the shower/bubbler if both are 
tagged. I'd rather not confuse them.
